Abstract

Therapeutic effect by injection-AP with antibiotics plus conventional treatment was investigated to establish a new treatment method for canine demodicosis. Three patients diagnosed into canine demodicosis were used in the present study. Injection-AP with enrofloxacin (5 mg/kg, twice a week) was made into the acupoints such as Fei Shu(BL13), Wei Zhong (BL40), Da Zhui (GV14), Zu San Li (ST36), He Gu (LI04), Qu Chi (LI11) and Sang Yin jiao(SP06) for 5 weeks. Further, they were additionally received with conventional treatments including injection of ivermectin (0.5 mg/kg, twice a week, SC) and 0.05% amitraz rinse (twice a week) for 5 weeks. The clinical symptoms (pruritus, excoriation, erythema and alopecia) were much improved by injection-AP therapy plus conventional treatment, compared by those of pre-treatment. Case 1 became to normal after 4 weeks, Case 2 became to mild after 5 weeks and Case 3 became to normal after 5 weeks. Total WBC revealed decreasing tendency with treatment in all cases, however, N/L ratios didn't show regular pattern of change with treatment. Notable changes were not histopathogically found in skin lesions of Case 1 and Case 3 except Case 2 with mild change after 5 weeks treatment, compared by those of pre-treatment, respectively. In conclusion, the present patients were cases with canine demodicosis which revealed favorable therapeutic response by injection-AP with antibiotics plus conventional treatment.

개 모낭충증의 새로운 치료법을 확립하기 위하여 항생제의 약침과 일반 치료의 병행을 이용한 치료 효과를 조사하였다. 본 연구에서는 모낭충으로 진단된 개 3두를 이용하였다. Enrofloxacin의 약침을 폐수(BL13) 위중(BL40), 대추(GV14), 족삼리(ST36), 합곡(LI04), 곡지(LI11) 및 삼음교(SP06)의 혈위에 각각 5주간 실시하였다. 또한 일반 치료법인 invermectin과 0.05% amitraz 약욕을 5주간 추가로 실시하였다. 소양증, 찰과상, 홍반 및 탈모와 같은 임상증상은 약침과 일반치료에 의해서 치료 전에 비하여 현저하게 완화되었다. Case 1은 4주 후에 완치되었고, case 2는 5주 후에 증상이 약간 잔존하였으며, 그리고 case 3은 5주 후에 완치되었다. 혈중 백혈구 수는 치료와 더불어 모든 케이스에서 감소하는 경향을 보였으나, 호중구/림프구 비율은 일정한 경향을 나타내지 않았다. 5주째 병리조직 검사 소견상에서 case 1과 case 3은 뚜렷한 병리조직학적 변화가 관찰되지 않았으나, case 2는 경도의 변화가 관찰되었다. 결론적으로 개 모낭충에 이환된 본 환축들은 항생제 약침과 일반 치료법의 병행으로 양호한 치료반응을 나타낸 증례이었다.
